LOL so funny... I will try to go back and edit that to say fuel. Thanks. I may make the trailer purchase. I'm hoping so. I haven't owned a diesel or a big truck like this before. Found this trailer for $3500. I feel i really have to jump on it.

With our 04 450 I've with a 10 ft dump bed been 19,200 gvw with 4 tons of class 5 and i felt comfortable driving, I also haul 2 skid leaders on a 25 ft 12 ton deckover and with the bed empty it handles it fine, just going to be slow in the mountains and make sure u have good trailer brakes and good controller

am i the only one that has a slight thinking that he might have head gasket problems with this? and first mod i would do is a simple intake and exhaust to help it breath. but please always check under the hood and make sure after every pull that you arent leaking coolant out of the degas bottle. if i were you i would be worried about the head gaskets unless it has studs

He wont have any issues, if he has any headgasket problems it wont be because of the load he is pulling. I regularly pulled loads of 12 cattle that typically avg. 1300 lbs with my 6.0 and 3.73 gears with no problems, and mine has over 100k of hard working miles on it.
As the the original poster, with the six speed and those gears you will have plenty of power for that load. Its the brakes in those "mountains" that would worry me more than anything
